The new Skoda Octavia is here, and this is what this new version offers us

The Skoda Octavia has now reached its fourth generation and brings us several things that are very interesting. Since its launch almost 30 years ago, the model has evolved and shown an increasingly attractive and modern image. In this new generation, work has been done not only to showcase a new look, but it has also incorporated several technological innovations that improve the driving experience of this car.

On the exterior, we can see changes to the grille and the front bumper. The matrix LED headlights make the front even more attractive and add an extra touch to the lighting. The LED indicators feature a dynamic design, as on other models of the Volkswagen Group. The wheels have a new design, so the resulting look is quite different from the current model.

Inside the cabin we find a 10-inch multimedia screen, although a 13-inch screen can also be chosen on the highest trim levels. In front of the driver, all instrument data can be seen on a 10-inch screen and a head-up display, which projects that information in front of the driver.

There has been talk of the integration of ChatGPT into the infotainment system, although this will not be immediate. This feature will arrive later together with the voice assistant Laura, which will be integrated into the offering within a few months. On the Selection trim level and higher, a USB-C charger will be installed in the interior rear-view mirror, allowing devices to be charged more quickly.

As for the driver assistance systems of the Skoda Octavia, the driver can count on the Intelligent Parking Assistant and Remote Parking. The driver can feel at ease, because the Attention and Drowsiness Assistant accurately detects driver fatigue.

It will be available in several trim levels: Essence, Selection, Sportline and the RS, which keeps the sporty spirit of the model. Nine Design Selections options are also offered to dress the interior, with synthetic materials and, in the case of the Sportline trim, a specific finish for it.

Engines of the new Skoda Octavia

The new Skoda Octavia drops the 1.0 TSI petrol engine with mild hybridisation that was previously in the range. It keeps, however, the 1.5 TSI engine with mild hybridisation and the 2.0 TSI. Both are offered with two power levels. In the case of diesel, only the 2.0 TDI is offered, which will also have two power levels. The lowest-powered Octavia will have 115 CV, while the top of the range is the 2.0 TSI engine with 265 CV.
